| We have a 1998 toyota camry in which the accelerator sometimes sticks after the vehicle has been driven and comes to a stop for a stop sign, red light, etc. the accelerator seems to be allowed to be depressed a very miniscule amount and then it stops or gets stuck. if you push down hard at this point it clicks, releases, and the accelerator is allowed to continue to be depressed as far as you wish. when it clicks it is as if it pops over whatever it was stuck on. | |||
